The game boasts stunning graphics by Dan Malone (who also worked on the similarly stunning Cadaver and Speedball 2) and he uses a mix of organic and metallic styles with just a sprinkle of steampunk to create this hideous, malicious world full of weird monsters and mysterious locations.

You start by controlling this ‘Earth City’ and fans of Millenium 2.2 will be right at home, as it’s a very familiar interface whereby you click on various icons to access the different areas of the base and direct its inhabitants towards the jobs you decide are important. That is until a Dr Trout laid out a brave new plan for space travel and the construction of a new base on Earth modelled on the old Moon colony that would serve as a first step towards the rest of the solar system.

I’d like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who voted. My hope is that what follows is a handy resource for those looking to play the very best the Atari ST has to offer.
